My son Richard is 29, married with a young daughter. We are not really indigent or among the poorest of the poor but a kidney transplant isn't something we can afford. We tried going with the government provided funding but unfortunately the government is only funding the poorest of the poor. A middle-class family as ours can only avail of as much as 20% discount unless you cheat and lie your way into the system.

I thought the transplant would be the only cost, but apparently you'll need to spend at least PhP30,000 (US$ 600) per month after the transplant itself. I'm trying to raise Php 3,000,000 (US$60,000) because the transplant itself is PhP2,000,000 (US$40,000) and I'm allocating another PhP1,000,000 (US$20,000)as reserve for the initial maintenance and unforeseen medical emergencies that may happen after the transplant.

Thank you all, we now have enough funds to take the first step. NKTI/Philhealth requires that you have at least Php600,000 at your disposal before we can take the first steps towards the transplant. We will now be filing the requirements and prepare for the kidney-donor work-up procedures. We'll know by tomorrow what would be the next steps after this.

This fundraiser has reached the point where we are receiving funds from people we don't personally know.

Thank you Catherine Defensor, Drs Sharon and Ian Cohen for the generous donations. I was trying to trace how we are somehow connected so I can contact you and personally extend my appreciation. One way or another I hope can thank you. It's the mystery that makes a miracle ... a miracle.

thank you all for your prayers... Richard’s application for the Z-package was approved. This means that he will get an 80% discount on his supply of the Peritoneal Dialysis solution ... it’s also possible that Philhealth would cover Php 600,000 of his kidney transplant...
